Unfortunately, you will provoke them if you are caught taking the Warhammer from the eagle’s nest. Once you have obtained the Warhammer by either sneaking it away or killing the eagles, you can work on getting the Ceremonial Battleaxe.

On the eastern side of the monastery, you will find a room with a yellow barrier. You can go through the barrier or go around and break the wall with force damage. Once inside, you will see a Guardian of Faith.

Destroy the Guardian of Faith to obtain the Ceremonial Battleaxe. This weapon will be in the middle of the floor.

If you want to get the Ceremonial Mace, it is dropped by a Kobold on the first floor of the monastery. Once again, it is not needed if you pick up a Rusty Mace.

The final weapon, the Ceremonial Longsword, is already in place where the puzzle is located in the room with the stained-glass window on the floor.

The Creche opening is located in the back of the Monastery. You will need to pass a few checks to get let inside. This is made easier if you have Lae’zel in your party.
